FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for high-performance running or sports activities. Its construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over athletic functionality.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes are listed in UK women's sizing. We recommend referring to adidas' official size guide and measuring your foot to ensure the best fit. If you're unsure, try them on in-store if possible, or consider your usual adidas sneaker size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes, including the Gazelle Indoor, in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be easily stained and damaged by water. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and use a suede brush to restore the nap.
What is the 'Indoor' part of the name referring to?
The 'Indoor' designation refers to the Gazelle's original design roots as an indoor sports shoe, typically for handball or futsal, in the 1970s. While retaining the aesthetic, modern Gazelle Indoor models are primarily lifestyle sneakers.
How do I prevent the Sandy Pink color from fading?
To prevent color fading, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from windows or direct light sources.
Are replacement laces available?
While replacement laces are not typically included, standard sneaker laces of similar length and width can be purchased if needed. Matching the exact 'Sandy Pink' color may require a specific search.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dust. For stubborn dirt, apply a suede eraser or cleaner according to product instructions.
Shoes feel a bit stiff initially
The suede and leather materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Slight color transfer from the pink suede onto socks
This is rare but can occur, especially with new suede. Wear darker socks initially. A suede protector spray can help mitigate this by sealing the fibers.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing patterns (e.g., skip an eyelet for more room, or tighten eyelets for a snugger fit) to achieve optimal comfort.

Care Instructions:
Caring for the suede upper is essential to maintain the pristine look of your Sandy Pink Gazelle Indoors. Follow these guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser. Always follow the product instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep suede away from water, mud, and excessive moisture, as this can stain and damage the material. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight which can cause fading.
- Leather Details: Wipe leather accents with a soft, damp cloth.
